Camber
Hi, can an alignment issue or an issue with a faulty camber cause premature tire wear only on the front tires? Tires are showing excessive wear at only 6400 miles an only on the outside the tire

It's pretty obvious that tire wear increases as alignment changes. Last time I checked, the front and rear axles were independent from each other.

Maybe it slipped past manufacturer delivery, maybe it was driven by someone before it was given back to the dealership as a "demo", there are so many factors that could lead to premature tire wear. Just so you know, the C43 experiences this problem quite badly due to our camber. Owners from this forum who are hard on their car usually change out their OEM run-flats at 7000-10000km. Perhaps you just have higher expectations of tread life than others. Who knows.

There are a lot more components for the front end suspension than the rear, any failure, failure to adjust for any of those parts will throw off the alignment leading to uneven wear. There could be a thousand reasons why its off (pothole strikes, etc.) that may have caused it. Im glad you didn't have a tire blowout while driving. Hope this gets resolved by the dealer.
